Frequently Asked Questions
Are Grubblies just for chickens?
Grubblies are a natural food for all of earth’s feathered friends, including ducks, roosters, geese, and wild birds.
Why are grubs better than mealworms?
Grubs have 50X more calcium than mealworms. Additionally, mealworms grown for chickens often come from countries with lax regulations, such as China. Grubbly Farms carefully sources grubs from farms that use the strictest EU standards.

Yummy to chicks.
My chicks just love them. A good way to hand feed them and make the chicks friendly.

Multi species
Chickens seem to like it well enough. Nice and easy for bantams to eat. As an added bonus my bearded dragon loves them and he’s super picky.

Best buy for your hens!
I HIGHLY recommend these! I have five hens and they all LOVE these! The pricing is very affordable, and I feel there isn’t a lot of extra packaging air space, really making me feel like I have my money’s worth. Every time the girls hear me grab the bag, they come running. Thank you for making a treat I can rely on for my girls.

Need to round up the chickens? Use these!
Few things get the chickens running towards us like these grubs. We initially got them to help through molting season, but they clearly love them so it’s on subscribe & save now. They love them & are great for their nutrition.

Good potential. Misses the mark.
Rating this product was difficult. Grubbies 1lb was readily eaten by my backyard chickens. They seemed to love it. If that were the only criteria, it would have received 5 stars. I opened the package and it didn’t smell bad – another plus. I like that it was made in USA and used quality ingredients. Two things I didn’t like about this product. First, half of the bag was filled with crumbs and tiny bits. That was a big problem because if I’m paying much more $$$$ than mealworms, it better be in top condition and overwhelmingly whole pieces that were meaty and I expected it to look like the picture on their ad. That brings me to the second negative. It is tremendously more expensive than the alternatives! At time of this review in July 2018, I can buy a 2 1/2 lb bag of mealworms (which they also really enjoy) for half or a third of the price of this. Since I already give my chickens high quality feed (as you probably do since you’re considering this), the cost does not equate to the value.TLDR: cost/value ratio and many tiny crumbs are issues that reduced my rating. If the cost was reduced and the average particle size increased, this could be a 5 star regular purchase for me.
